Piano and String Melody in Eb

Post by LHong »

It is piano and string composition in short version (1:25 duration) track.
I'm still working on with other parts. It will take a while to finish.
Strings are sample, Piano parts are mostly (85%) lived performing and recording.
Melody by Randy B, which is called Challenge14 something...

Thank you for listening, your comment is welcomed as usual!

Edit: Added the Final mixed! Thanks Guys for the Great comments!

Enjoy,

Very nice. What/which are the other 25% piano parts?

Thanks for listening, BingoTheClowno!
Other 15% is sample!
It had manually editing from the MIDI stuffs for Melody lines (a few places with samples blended).

the orchestral parts sound less 'natural' than the piano-solo.
did you apply separate compression on it?

Thanks hubird,
Same compressor (Optimaster) for the mixdown, but there were 6 string lines that had their own EQ/Combo. I think that, there may be too much (wet) Reverb on a few of them?

Nice little waltz. Try pulling the strings before the beat so that they fall more into the tempo. And I would say that they are in fact way too wet. Try to think of a symphonic hall for your reverb settings. Also, the Db chord at 29 seconds should remain arpeggiated or at least bring down the velocity on the left hand solid chords. Those solid chords do work best just before the strings come in but they too need to be a lot less loud.
Are we listening?..

Thanks Paul,
You are right about the strings and the left hand solid chords (pretty loud)!
I have dedicated track for it, so that the enhancement can be done in shortly!

didn't notice the reverb part consciously, but the strings came in so emphasized, and they sound a bit too blown up.
this can point to reverb, compression,or simply loudness in the mix, can't tell you what's the exact cause.
maybe it's me who's wrong, anyway you could give it a second thought :-)
